I have been using proxy pass in the simplest of cases to send URLs to a
tomcat backend without an issue:
#Tomcat ajp connection for isbn's
ProxyPass / ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/
Now I am trying to integrate the tomcat app with an apache virtual host
and am having a troubling time. I am able to separate some URLs between
the two application by forwarding just specific directories to the tomcat
server. The following works as expected with the below directories being
answered by tomcat and all others being answered by the apache virtual
host.
ProxyPass /isbn ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/isbn
ProxyPass /images ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/images
ProxyPass /skins ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/skins
ProxyPass /assets ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/assets
ProxyPass /javascript ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/javascript
ProxyPass /admin ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/admin
ProxyPass /secure ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/secure
ProxyPass /pages ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/pages
But I am having trouble proxying base URL locations in the below instance.
I get an apache httpd 404 error instead of the request being relayed to
the tomcat server
ProxyPass /AccountLogin.jdmx
ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/AccountLogin.jmdx
ProxyPassReverse /AccountLogin.jdmx
ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/AccountLogin.jmdx
So I wanted to just by default send requests to tomcat and exclude a few
of the apache virtual directory directories but strangely htiting my site
at the /category URL in this setup does not go to the apache virtual host
but gets answered with a 404 by tomcat
#Tomcat ajp connection for isbn's
ProxyPass /category !
ProxyPass / ajp://162.243.220.88:8009/
I'm pretty confused on how to debug this since it only works in the most
basic of circumstances. Clearly I am doing something completely wrong.
Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
